Letter from Waco

Waco, Texas is more than the home of Dr Pepper, David Koresh, and the world’s largest homecoming parade. To truly understand, one need only look at the intersection of the four principles which govern the town — race, religion, death, and football — forming a cross upon which hangs an understanding of the “West’s most southern city.” From Waco Indian legends to the deadly twisters of the ’50s, this pointillist portrait will remind many Americans of their own hometowns.
